This results in a significant boost in both speed and efficiency, making the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus more powerful and capable of handling more demanding tasks and applications.
Enhanced Camera Capabilities
Another major upgrade in the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus is the improved camera system. The iPhone 8 features a 12-megapixel rear camera with a larger and faster sensor, a new color filter, and deeper pixels. The iPhone 8 Plus, on the other hand, comes with a dual 12-megapixel camera system, which includes a wide-angle and a telephoto lens. This allows for better zoom capabilities and the introduction of Portrait Lighting, a feature that uses machine learning to create professional lighting effects in portrait mode.
Wireless Charging and Improved Display
One of the most anticipated features of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus is the introduction of wireless charging. Both models support the Qi wireless charging standard, allowing users to charge their devices without the need for cables. This is a significant step forward in convenience and aligns with Apple’s vision of a wireless future.
The display on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus has also been enhanced with True Tone technology.
